CLASS WILL This being the last will and testament of the class of 1917 it is altogether fitting and proper that the school as a whole should be remembered. We therefore bequeath: our rousing enthusiasm and desire for learning to all pupils and pupils-to-be at Maupin High. May they hold high the torch of learning as we should have done. Individually, we bequeath: I, James Fargher, will my studious ways to Dudley Cox and ray pretty wavy hair to Thatcher Shaw. It gets you lots of girls, Thatcher. I, Gerald Hauser, will my position as water boy to James Booth and my height to William Walters. It will help you in basketball, William. I, Melvin Richmond, will my freckles to Florence Jones and my place on the football team to Robert Kellogg. You can't anymore than get your leg broken, Robert. I, Ruth Lease, will my two heart-throbs, Alden Walters and Kenneth McKay, to Alice Pedersen. If you really want them keep them guessing, Alice. • I, Doris Delco, will my naturally curly hair to Florence Jones. You don't have to put it up so often, Florence. I also will my ability to keep a secret to Suzann Ross. It isn't really hard, Suzi. I, Peggy Barber, will my good grades in Math (5's) to Gladys Walters and my ability to study to Janis Cameron and Florence Jones. Carry on. Kids. I, Kenneth McCorkle, will my center position to Keith Snodgrass and my habit of getting out of classes to Don Schmidt. It canes in handy, Don. I, Hattie Davidson, will my studious ways and English books to Robert Davidson and my athletic ability to Vonna Morrow. I, Harold Walters, will my habit of getting up at 5:30 a. m. to Thomas Fargher. With that habit you are never late for school, Thomas. I also will my left guard position to Lyle Gabel. I, Betty Porter, will my blonde hair to Viola Metcalf. You won't have to dye it, Viola. I also will my ability to get along with Mrs. Sweetland to Gladys Walters. You can do it, Gladys. I, Eugene Barnett, will leave dear old Maupin High forever. I also will my well-combed hair to anyone in school who needs it and my ability to get a wife to Dudley Cox. You'll need it.Dudley.

CUSS PROPHECY (Cont.) Melvin Richmond, or maybe I should say General Melvin Richmond, advanced rank after rank when he graduated from college and entered the army as a lieutenant. Melvin is now in charge of all the troops in the Antarctic region. Besides being a great array man he is also a scientist and has made it possible for people who live in the Antarctic region to raise gardens by means of a sun lamp. Peggy Barber, Doris Delco and I live in Philadelphia where we run the world famous Barber College for Men. Doris is Professor of Tonso-rial Artistry and has received her degree in barbering. Peggy and I teach manicuring and tonsorial artistry, but we will not receive our degrees until next year. None of us are married yet, because we have found that we are much happier living together in our lovely old mansion on the outskirts of Philadelphia. We all have our hobbies to keep us busy and fill our evenings. Doris is very interested in her cats, Peggy in her white mink, and I in my squirrels. We have found these hobbies both amusing and interesting. Doris and Peggy are not with me on my tour advertising for men students for our college because someone was needed at home to run the business. It has been a pleasure to relate to you the accomplishments and success of the seniors of forty-seven who graduated exactly twenty years ago tonight. If all those seniors could be here I am sure they would join me in saying that all our accomplishments, whether large or small, we owe to our parents, teacher, friends, and to our high school.
